Nasigon - Sud: 0.78% Cu, 4.37 g/t Ag over 8.97 m in channel sample
Four trenches over four geophysical anomalies returned copper mineralization

Montreal, Quebec, August 16, 2018 – Kintavar Exploration Inc. (the “ Corporation” or “ Kintavar”)
(TSX-V: KTR) (FRANKFURT: 58V), is pleas ed to announce its first channel sample assays from the
2018 summer exploration program. Results from channel samples of 5 trenches out of the
10completed to date have been received and compiled. The summary of the intersections
obtained in these trenches can be seen in Table 1.
On the Nasigon corridor, assays from 4 trenches over an area of 2 km in the East -West direction
by 600 m in the North-South direction have returned significant copper grades. The Nasigon-Sud
composite channel (perpendicular to mineralized horizons), located 100 m south of the Nasigon
showing (1.10% Cu and 3.4 g/t Ag over 10 m, see press release November 29, 2017) has returned
0.78% Cu and 4.37 g/t Ag over 8.97 m. The particularity of this trench is that in addition to the
mineralized sedimentary units, a late stage extensional system is present which is accompanied
by remobilization of copper sulphides. All the four trenches represent four individual horizons
which remain open laterally (East -West) and correspond to various geophysi cal anomalies
extending over several hundred meters each. Assays from the final 5 trenches are still pending.
The initial drilling program on the Nasigon grid was completed this past week. The copper
sedimentary horizons of the Nasigon, Nasigon-Sud and Nasigon-Est trenches were all intersected
successfully in the corresponding drill holes and assays are expected in fall.
On the Sherlock corridor, a composite channel was completed on the Toby showing which
previously returned a grade of 0.89% Cu and 15. 3 g/t Ag in grab sample (see press release
August 5, 2018). The composite channel sample (perpendicular to the mineralized horizon s),
which is located 200 m to the East of the Sherlock showing, graded 0. 57% Cu and 8.34 g/t Ag
over a length of 6.65 m. The m arble unit that was sampled is cross -cut by a late dyke on the
southern end while the intersection remains open in all directions. The Toby showing is
associated with the same geophysical anomaly as the Sherlock showing which now extends for
over 900 m. Fo ur other trenches are currently being completed on the Elementary showing
(2.34% Cu, 18.5 g/t Ag) and the 007 showing (0.24% Cu and 3.5 g/t Ag) which were discovered
on the Sherlock corridor in June and July (see press release August 5, 2018).

Additional trenches are planned for the month of August and September on the Huard (1.04%
Cu, 8.7 g/t Ag) and Sarcelle (0.80% Cu, 12.2 g/t Ag) showings which were identified in June on
the Hispana corridor . A geophysical survey covering that area was completed in t he recent days
which will be used to generate additional targets.
“Our two main corridors keep producing the results that we we re hoping to see when our
summer program started in June. Nasigon, that until recently was focused only on on e showing,
now has mineralization extending on surface for over 2 km. The Sherlock area, which already has
a strike le ngth of mineralization of over 4.5 km, shows great consistency. At the Toby trench,
what started with a simple outcrop and a grab sample of 0.81% Cu, now i s an important drilling
target with mineralization open in all the directions. The style of mineralization and the bulk
mining model that we are envisioning for the Mitchi project, combined with the consistency of
grades and of the favorable sedimentary un its is such that every mineralized outcrop has the
potential to become an important zone. ” comments Kiril Mugerman, president and CEO of
Kintavar.

Real thickness of the composite channel samples is estimated to be between 45 and 70% of the intersected
thickness
All samples have been sent and prepared (PREP -31) by ALS Global laboratory in Val -d’Or. The
pulp was se nt to ALS Global laboratory in Vancouver for copper assays (CU -ICP61), silver assays
(AG-ICP61) or a multi -elemental analysis by four acid digestion (ME -ICP61) and spectroscopy
(ICP-AES/MS). Samples with assays higher than 10,000 ppm Cu were reanalyzed by atomic
absorption (CU -OG62) at the ALS Global Vancouver laboratory. Quality controls include
systematic addition of blank samples and certified copper standards to each batch of samples
sent to the laboratory.
About the Mitchi Property
The Mitchi prope rty (approx. 30,000 hectares, 100% owned) is located west of the
Mitchinamecus reservoir, 100 km north of the town of Mont -Laurier. The property covers an
area of more than 300 km2 accessible by a network of logging and gravel roads with a hydro -
electric power substation located 14 km to the east. The property is located in the north-western
portion of the central metasedimentary belt of the Grenville geological province. Many gold,
copper, silver and/or manganese mineralized showings have been identified t o date, with many
characteristics suggesting of a sediment -hosted stratiform copper type deposit (SSC) in the
Eastern portion of the property and Iron Oxide Copper Gold ore (IOCG) and skarn type deposits
in the Western portion. Osisko holds a 2% NSR on 27 claims of the southern portion of the Mitchi
property, outside of the sedimentary basin.
